Nancy Pelosi<\/a>. This is the most progressive Congress in our nation\u2019s history, which is why it\u2019s so important that we are united to win back the majority, to be a check on Biden\u2019s radical socialist agenda, including trillions of dollars of new taxes and trillions in new spending — and on the committee, we fight back every day against the far-left Democrats.<\/p>\nJASON: Well, that\u2019s good to know. I think you came in two years before I got there. But as you point out and I pointed out yesterday on the program, leadership — and I think this goes on top of sometimes. You have to have an independent voice. But by the same token, there is truth here, you gotta be a team player if you want to get something done.<\/p>\n
You can\u2019t let the perfect become the enemy of the good, and you have to unite. Now, in this great debate between the current chairwoman, Liz Cheney, and it looks like your rising ascendancy (Is there any other kind of ascendancy?), the fact is, Liz isn\u2019t being a team player. You\u2019ve gotta unite around something, and there are always people that can look towards the negative. But at some point, we\u2019ve got the majority; you have to get things done. Is that a fair assessment?<\/p>\n
STEFANIK: I think it\u2019s a fair assessment. And I listen to voters very closely in my district, and I know every member of Congress does across America. They want us to unify, and they believe President Trump is an important voice and an important role and the leading voice in the Republican Party and conservative movement.<\/p>\n
We have to work with President Trump to win back the majority, and we\u2019re going to, and that\u2019s what the members of Congress want who are Republicans, and that\u2019s what the voters want in this country so we can focus on talking about how dangerous and radical Nancy Pelosi\u2019s policies are and our solutions to grow the economy, create jobs, stand up for the Constitution, counter China, et cetera.<\/p>\n
JASON: And $6 trillion in new spending in three months won\u2019t grow the economy? I\u2019m shocked. Look.<\/p>\n
STEFANIK: That\u2019s one of the reasons we have bad jobs numbers today. They\u2019re abysmal.<\/p>\n
JASON: That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/APP-20201-050721-Elise-Stefanik-4.jpg\")
STEFANIK: Unemployment is up. Inflation is… You know, people are seeing rising cost of goods, and small businesses can\u2019t hire workers because of the continued additional federal unemployment assistance.<\/p>\n
JASON: Yeah, so much for MMT Modern Monetary Theory. This is nothing more than Keynesianism in drag. They\u2019re gonna inflate their way out of the debt — and when you do that, you\u2019re going to have asset bubbles and rising prices eventually and that\u2019s exactly what\u2019s happening, which is no good for anyone. Look, you mentioned something about President Trump and your vigorous defense of him in this unwarranted impeachment saga.<\/p>\n
You were on the intel committee, but I went down when I was in the House and looked at the intelligence. This whole Russian hoax was… I don\u2019t want to be too dramatic here, but it comes pretty darn close to a coup being perpetrated by people who knew better. And we\u2019ve got to have some FISA reform so that they don\u2019t become a rubber stamp to have an opposition out of power going after a newly elected president.<\/p>\n
STEFANIK: You are exactly right. What we uncovered — and it really took the Republicans in the House to uncover this — was the abuse in the FBI, the abuse by Jim Comey. I was the first one to ask him why he didn\u2019t follow the law to inform Congress when they wrongly and illegally opened up a counterintelligence investigation — and then when it came to the FISA, we now know that that was illegal.<\/p>\n
So these reforms… If people want to protect our constitutional liberties and freedoms in this country and guard from significant government overreach, this is why we need to elect conservative Republicans. And I think, you know, what the Democrats accuse the Republicans of is actually what they did for four years. They treated President Trump like an illegitimate president and continued to perpetrate the Russia hoax.<\/p>\n
JASON: I\u2019ll go a step further. I can do this now that I\u2019m a talk show host instead of a member of Congress — you see, there are liberties here, Elise. But what they did in trying to overthrow a duly elected president through the bowels of the DOJ and a corrupt FBI is far worse than what happened on January 6th. I\u2019ll just say that flat-out. And this is where we\u2019ve gotta quit at this time playing small ball and focus on the big picture.<\/p>\n
And you just mentioned it. And that is, if you can… And now they\u2019re going after Rudy Giuliani. A Third World, banana republic lets the victor put their opponents in jail. We are in danger of losing the republic here, and if we don\u2019t look at the big picture, getting voting regularities or voting ballot integrity rights, making certain we have free speech from Big Tech, restoring law and order while at the same time having due-process rights for everyone.<\/p>\n
Not to mention, not to mention not exploiting the pandemic for political gain so they can command-and-control America. We can talk about the minutia of, like, you and I on Ed. and Workforce or infrastructure or everything else, and it\u2019s important. But the fact is, we are now at this point in our history where the very fabric of the republic is being threatened.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/APP-20201-050721-Elise-Stefanik-3.jpg\")
STEFANIK: These are big fights, and this is why we need strong, unified leadership. You\u2019re exactly right about the fight with Big Tech. We see Big Tech censorship. Actually, this week they suspended my communications director, and the timing was just perfect from their perspective as we are working to run for House Republican conference chair. We see Big Tech censoring conservatives. They never seem to censor liberals, though.<\/p>\n
JASON: Isn\u2019t that amazing?<\/p>\n
STEFANIK: It\u2019s amazing. We also saw the blackout of the accurate Hunter Biden story from the New York Post, and Hunter Biden\u2019s ties with the Chinese Communist Party. And all the tech companies colluded and completely blacked that story out before the election. That was a form of election meddling. So we need to break up these Big Tech corporations. We need to pursue antitrust policies. These are big, big fights, and this is why we need to step up and unite and work with President Trump to win next November.<\/p>\n
JASON: It doesn\u2019t us no… I mean, the idea of Big Tech now suppressing and censoring your communications director, I might understand it if they went after your legislative director, my old buddy Merrick.<\/p>\n
STEFANIK: (chuckles)<\/p>\n
JASON: I mean, I get that. But your communications director, that\u2019s the last straw.<\/p>\n
STEFANIK: Yeah, I have a great team. I have a great team, and some of them worked for you, Jason.<\/p>\n
JASON: You know, you said something very important there, Elise, and that is you\u2019re going to have to be unified going forward. I\u2019m a little bit perplexed. When we face all of these challenges, and these are truly — to use that overused word — “existential.” When you look at that, why is anybody still dwelling on Donald Trump, who brought the workingman and woman back to the Republican Party?<\/p>\n
STEFANIK: Because I think the Democrats can\u2019t get over his win in 2016. I remember when we did polling in my district, the only unifying issue of Democrats was wanting to defeat President Trump. And we are seeing that, that they are obsessed. But what they don\u2019t realize is Trump has grown the party. Just look at my district.<\/p>\n
JASON: Mmm-hmm.<\/p>\n
STEFANIK: My district voted for Obama twice, and President Trump won it overwhelmingly by double digits. He spoke to the hardworking families across this country who felt left behind. And he had a vision and the livered can results for economic opportunity, whether it was —<\/p>\n
JASON: Well, why would Republicans…? I\u2019ll be honest about this, the current chairwoman, Liz Cheney. Why are those sorts of Republicans or Lincoln Project Republicans so obsessed with Trump?<\/p>\n
STEFANIK: You know, I think their corporate donors. I think their far-left donors. It is sad how they are now part of the deranged far left. But you know what? I represent 700,000 people in my district who are hardworking Americans. I care much more about what they think than the pedophiles at the Lincoln Project.<\/p>\n
JASON: Well, that\u2019s pretty tough. Yesterday I called them “political pedophiles,” but, I mean (chuckles) no modifier needed, I guess. I guess, you know, if in fact — and I think you will rise to the conference chairwoman and the great tradition of Cathy McMorris Rodgers. But if you take a look at that and you\u2019re successful next week, and I think you will be, and the Republicans take back the House, what is on the agenda? Repealing Section 230, which we have done in the NDAA process this cycle? What is your agenda?<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/APP-20201-050721-Elise-Stefanik-6.jpg\")
STEFANIK: Repealing Section 230 is absolutely on the agenda. Cathy McMorris Rodgers is actually leading the effort when it comes to countering and combating Big Tech. Countering China is going to be really, really important. We have the current president, President Biden, who is soft on China. And his family does business with the Chinese Communist Party. That\u2019s an existential global threat, and the Republicans have the House China Task Force to lay out all of our policies. Growing the economy, cutting taxes, reducing regulations, investing in American energy independence — basically rolling back all of these very progressive policies Biden has put into place to provide economic opportunity and economic growth.<\/p>\n
JASON: And certainly not federalizing state elections as H.R. 1 would do.<\/p>\n
STEFANIK: Absolutely not.<\/p>\n
JASON: It\u2019s really an assault on our Constitution.<\/p>\n
STEFANIK: And the opposite of that is making sure we have election security and election integrity and making sure that\u2019s at the state level. I support the audit in Arizona.<\/p>\n
JASON: Mmm-hmm.<\/p>\n
STEFANIK: Transparency and answers for the American people are a good thing. But we need to fix our — our election systems and the unconstitutional overreach that we saw in certain states this past November.<\/p>\n
JASON: Well, I think you\u2019re gonna be the next conference chair, and it was fun serving with you, albeit a short time. But keep doing what you\u2019re doing, and make sure certain that… You know, Trump transformed a lot of Republicans into opening their eyes and to what really, really is happening to the workingman and woman in America. And it really is giving people a lot of courage to say things and behave in ways they wouldn\u2019t have done before, and I think we need to keep up with that and have an open mind towards that.<\/p>\n
STEFANIK: We need fighters. President Trump is a fighter on behalf of the American people, and voters want fighters to stand up for them. And that\u2019s what I\u2019m committed to doing, to unify the message, to earn the support of our Republican colleagues and fight for hardworking American families.<\/p>\n
JASON: Representative Elise Stefanik, thanks so much for stopping in on the Rush Limbaugh program today.<\/p>\n
STEFANIK: Thank you, Jason.<\/p>\n
JASON: You bet. Nice talking with you.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
JASON: And our thanks once again to Representative Stefanik. She is a rising star and I think gonna be the next vice chairwoman of the Republican conference. It\u2019s a very important role. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, as I mentioned, was chairwoman when I got there. The leadership actually paved the way for Cheney to take that spot and then serve on the Rules Committee. They did everything they could for Cheney, but she\u2019s not a team player. Again, I think this is deeper than just that.<\/p>\n
I think there\u2019s an internecine battle between the neoconservatives in the Republican Party, those ex-Democrats that are Big Government abroad, Big Government at home, they just didn\u2019t like the Democrats going soft on the military in the seventies; so they switched, right?<\/p>\n
I think that battle now with Trump coming in saying, wait a minute, we ought to think about these endless wars has really put them in a position that\u2019s untenable. People forget. When the barracks were bombed in Beirut 1983, Reagan withdrew. When Reagan was pushed to put 25,000 troops in Managua in the eighties, he said, damn it, I\u2019m not gonna do it. When Eisenhower left office, he said beware of these people at the military-industrial complex that will push us into these interventions. Ike fought intervention in the Suez Canal, wouldn\u2019t do it. The Republican traditional theory has been a strong defense but be very, very discreet in foreign interventions. And that\u2019s the battle that\u2019s going on, I do believe.<\/p>\n
Cobleskill, New York. Gene, you\u2019re up on the Rush Limbaugh program with me, Jason Lewis. Hi.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Stefanik-e1573848017424.jpeg\")
CALLER: Yes, sir. Yes. It\u2019s a pleasure to talk to you. First of all, like to commend you for the great work you did in Congress. And we have —<\/p>\n
JASON: Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n
CALLER: — taken note of it, and I think — I think you deserve recognition for that. But the main point of my call was about Representative Stefanik.<\/p>\n
JASON: Yep.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I live in upstate New York. Boy, she jumped out at me I think it was during the first Trump impeachment, that ridiculous impeachment, and I said —<\/p>\n
JASON: Right.<\/p>\n
CALLER: — wow. Look at Elise Stefanik, she\u2019s smart, she was well spoken. And I\u2019ve been following her ever since. And shows like today when she spoke, I mean, I think she is a rising star. I think she might be part of the future of this party, of our party. And has anybody ever spoken about her ascending to higher office, vice president; so on and so forth? What\u2019s your feelings on that? I think she\u2019s terrific.<\/p>\n
JASON: Well, Gene, she\u2019s very well spoken, as I mentioned. I served with her on one committee, and was always impressed with Elise. You know, they\u2019re — some of the critics on the right — and naturally CNN\u2019s going after her now; so you know she\u2019s on the right track.<\/p>\n
CALLER: A-ha. A-ha. That\u2019s a good sign.<\/p>\n
JASON: But, you know, some of the critics on the hard right said, oh, gosh, she had a moderate voting record. Let me tell you what happened with Trump.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n
JASON: When Trump says that we ought to have American manufacturer for, say, for — oh, I don\u2019t know. Copper-nickel mining, or precious metals, or for medical equipment, those manufacturers ought to come first. And if that means a tariff, then we ought to do that. After all, we don\u2019t have a zero income tax. Why should we have zero tariffs? So Trump raised the tariffs. Guess what? A lot of these, quote, unquote, think tanks in Washington that tell you they\u2019re conservative will give you a demerit for supporting Trump on that.<\/p>\n
So be wary, folks, of the so-called conservative organizations going, oh, well this person is not conservative enough. They said the same thing about Trump. Trump has transformed the GOP. And I think Elise was smart enough — and I think it\u2019s genuine — saw that and then the impeachment, when she\u2019s sitting on intel, saw the total con job that was the Steele dossier and these illegal FISA warrants and wiretaps said, enough is enough. And I think that ability to recognize that and transform, if you will, is very, very good and very, very important.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Where is the leadership of the GOP now, though? It seems like we\u2019re just sitting on the sidelines and letting the Democrats have their way. And no one like Donald Trump is stepping up and saying “no.” No one — no one on the Republican leadership is taking a hard line. They seem so soft lately. I — we need that leadership that Donald Trump gave. It seems to be lacking right now in the Republican Party. I don\u2019t know what you\u2019re —<\/p>\n
JASON: Well, for many, many years until Trump the Republican Party\u2019s motto was there isn\u2019t a problem that if you don\u2019t just ignore it, it won\u2019t if we. And Trump said, I\u2019m not gonna ignore this stuff, and I\u2019m bringing the party kicking and screaming into fights over the border, over China, over abortion, over — over all these things that heretofore the Republicans didn\u2019t to want fight about. It was just too hot to handle. Part of the problem, too, is the consultancy class in Washington.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/APP-20201-022621-EIB-Callers-FLAG-BW.jpg\")
And, quite frankly, it sort of seeps into every campaign and that is, “You know, Elise, you know, Jason, you could get a hundred percent of the vote if you just don\u2019t pick a fight with anybody, if you just don\u2019t take a stand, you know, your fundraiser will have you go to two opposing views and try to raise money.” At some point you\u2019ve gotta take a stand and say I\u2019m writing this group off. They\u2019re wrong. I don\u2019t care about them any more. And that real — doesn\u2019t mean you don\u2019t listen to people and listen to all your constituents and represent them and their relations with the federal government, but we\u2019re not elected to represent socialists or the people that don\u2019t like the Constitution. We\u2019re elected to fight those people. And that\u2019s what Trump did.<\/p>\n
CALLER: The defeat of Donald Trump, tragic as it was, I\u2019m hoping this is a wake-up call for the GOP. I\u2019m hoping they\u2019re saying, look what happened. We let our guard down and this knucklehead is the president now. I hope this is a wake-up call for all the — all the right thinking Americans and never let something else happen again, to get out and vote and make sure that this doesn\u2019t happen again. This is has the potential of destroying this democracy, destroying this country. It\u2019s scary.<\/p>\n
JASON: Gene, thank you so much.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
JASON: Let\u2019s move on out to South Bend, Indiana. Rhonda, thanks for waiting. You\u2019re on the Rush Limbaugh program.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yes. I was just listening to your conversation with Ms. Stefanik, and it just reminded me that the radical left are such bullies. I\u2019ve four boys, and they have had their brushes with bullies on the playground, and I know how they operate. They tell lies really loud. They use accusations. They use blaming, shaming, intimidation, and the whole thing is meant to silence their opponent.<\/p>\n
JASON: That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n
CALLER: They cannot stand hearing the truth — and if you know the truth, then you stand your ground, and they tend to be cowards, and they —<\/p>\n
JASON: It\u2019s not even a matter of the truth, Rhonda. It\u2019s not even a matter of the truth. They cannot stand to have a debate. They cannot stand to have someone disagree with them. I\u2019m not saying we\u2019re right on everything, but I\u2019m saying we ought to have the opportunity to debate. And I will tell you where this crap started. It start it started with groups called Indivisible, which ought to be investigated. Indivisible Minnesota.<\/p>\n
Indivisible Eagan, which was in my congressional district, made literally veiled threats at every town hall you\u2019d try to hold. So naturally, you didn\u2019t hold town halls. They would follow you out of the airport. They would trespass on your property. They would have invade your congressional office out of protocol. They\u2019re rude, loud, juvenile brats, and they intimidated people. Now they\u2019ve intimidated corporate America. Now they\u2019ve got Big Tech and the media on their side, and what you\u2019ve got is this cacophony of juvenile delinquency that\u2019s running the country.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yes. Exactly. And if you stand your ground and look \u2019em in the face and refuse to be intimidated, they don\u2019t know what to do, because that\u2019s their main MO.<\/p>\n
JASON: Well, let me tell you where this has reached it\u2019s zenith, and that is with virtue signaling over masks.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n
JASON: The same people that were innovating Republican town hall meetings are the same idiots lecturing people that you\u2019ve gotta wear four masks outside alone, and if we don\u2019t start pushing back there… They\u2019re telling you to cover your face! What are we? I mean, what ayatollah does this? There\u2019s absolutely no reason whatsoever, with vaccinations approaching 60\/70%, with herd immunity literally at our doorstep, that lockdowns, mandatory mask wearing, any of this Orwellian crap ought to be going forward. And it\u2019s high time we have the guts, the guts to start pushing back on these people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
